This is good because it reinforces why you are nominated for NHS - you like school! :)

Good speeches include narratives, so you are spot-on with the story. I would suggest getting rid of the first part as it is about "other people" and this is your chance to focus on yourself and toot your own horn. Here is a grammar/style/usage cleaned-up version (smelling the ink makes it sound like you did it the night before):

"It was the day in the eight grade when I returned to school from spring vacation; it it was almost summer, so it was bright and there was a gentle breeze. I was returning with projects and essays, so well done and full imagery that I was bursting with pride. The school announcements came on as I was handing my teacher a project. The announcements for Arista, an award for people who scored above a 90, and Golden Arista, for people who had scored above a 95, were made. I thought I was up for one of the two since I had done well on my work, but since I did not see my last report card, I was not 100% sure. When I didn’t hear my name on the Arista list, I got a little worried, but that flew out the door when I heard my name on the Golden Arista list. Throughout the day, I kept hearing “congratulations" from my friends and teachers, and from that day on, I have been more encouraged to continue to do well both in school and on every goal I set for myself.

****2nd time I've asked this; will someone proofread...?

I'm just going to copy your writing and re-do any parts I see an issue with. If you have any questions, post them and I will try to check back.

January 20th 2009. The date doesn’t seem anything extraordinary; in fact it wasn’t until 1933, with the addition of the Twentieth Amendment to the United States Constitution, that it became noteworthy. On that day, a crowd of an estimated two million amassed itself around the steps of our nation’s capital, while about 38.7 million tuned in to watch the inauguration of the United States’ 44th president. So really, it’s no more extraordinary than the other forty-three instances that America held presidential inaugural ceremonies. Except this time, there was one crucial difference.

This time, an unprecedented multi-racial man, Barack Hussein Obama, was sworn in as America’s 44th president.

Obama’s inauguration was watched by the greatest number of people since Ronald Reagan's. Even though live coverage began at 5:00 a.m. by the media and excited ticketholders flooded the National Mall, the ceremony “officially” began with music from the Marine Band, the San Francisco Boys Chorus and the San Francisco Girls Chorus. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) issued the call to order and made brief welcoming remarks. Obama then met with former president George W. Bush, with whom he traveled to Capitol Hill where he was sworn in as president shortly thereafter. At 10:30 a.m. Aretha Franklin sang “My Country ‘Tis of Thee”, followed by Senator Joe Biden's swearing in as vice president by Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens. The third musical interlude featured composer and Floral Park native John Williams, violinist Itzhak Perlman, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, pianist Gabriela Montero and clarinetist Anthony McGill.

After Williams and the foursome finished their performance, Obama and John Roberts (the Supreme Court's chief justice) took center stage. Obama was sworn in with his hand on Lincoln’s Bible, but the ceremony was slightly awkward. as the whole world watched the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court recite the presidential oath incorrectly which caused Obama to stumble. Even though Obama was President after 12:00 noon on January 20th, the administration “wanted to be sure” about the swearing in so the oath was repeated in the Map Room of the White House on Obama’s second day in office. Obama quipped “We repeated the process because it was so much fun.”

Obama’s first 100 hours in office were very busy for the new White House, as the Obama administration began work immediately to start repairs to the damage done under the last eight years of President Bush's presidency.

As President Obama indicated in his inauguration speech, he is seeking to chart a new way forward in domestic and foreign policy. Obama has made a clean break from the Bush legacy in his early going, undertaking a number of actions that the former President would never have considered. Hours after his inauguration, Obama ordered a freeze on new regulations at all government agencies and departments and the withdrawal of all final or proposed regulations not yet published in the Federal Register. After only two days in office, he called on U.S. military leaders to start plans for a responsible withdrawal. Obama signed executive orders ending the CIA’s secret prisons. Thereby ending torture by requiring interrogations to abide by the Army Field Manual. He then issued new orders instructing all agencies to “adopt a presumption in favor” of FOIA requests. In addition, Obama is developing an “Open Government Directive” over the next four months.

This is just the beginning. Maybe this time, change really has come to America.

can someone please proofread this..?please and thank you?

Here is a revised version of your work with my preliminary suggested changes:

At the National American Woman’s Suffrage Convention, the song “The New America” was sung by an anonymous person. The first stanza of the song is about the common patriots who the zeal and tyranny of the British. As a nation, their ancestors (Whose ancestors? Be specific) had fought for their independence. These actions inspired women to fight for women’s rights. However, the movement in the beginning of its years had less support from their female counterparts. For example, Grace Duffield Goodwin believed that voting was a responsibility rather than a right. In addition, she believed that voting should only be a burden to men in order to allow women to devote time to the household and children (Goodwin 22). As time passed, the women’s movement grew tremendously with support:

Longer refuse to bow (it’s not clear where this is coming from)

On freedom’s altar now

Our hand is laid (12-4)

The song was sang near the end of the nineteenth century. Women gained courage and did not want to succumb to the degradation of society any longer. Organizations, such as the National American Woman Suffrage Association, were the beginning of the nationwide women’s suffrage movement in 1890s. The movement united two split parties. The viewpoints of the National Woman Suffrage Association were more radical than the American Woman Suffrage Association, which was known to be a more conservative base (“Woman Suffrage”). As these organizations grew, it happened to give promising outlooks to women as the suffrage became a worldwide movement, “Rise now, in manhood’s might/ With earth’s great souls unite”(18-9).Women are urging the suffragettes to stand up in a man’s world, Women should come together since that is how “freedom’s day” (21) will come quicker.
